NFDC CCDO smart cards suffer technical delay

Howard Button, CEO of the NFDC, has relayed the following update regarding the new NFDC CCDO smart cards:

---

The NFDC CCDO smart cards launched on the 1st September have unfortunately suffered a technical problem that has delayed the card delivery side of the system.

Every effort is being made to ensure card delivery as soon as possible, and I ask that you bear with us during this transition period.

The NDTG staff will produce certification for all courses completed and offer reassurance to clients that your operatives are qualified.

New style CCDO Smart Cards are now in use

We are now in the month of September, which means one thing: the new style CCDO Smart Cards are now in use and will be issued for all NDTG completed courses going forward.

From this month, all CCDO cards will be issued in accordance with the new CCDO Smart Card Scheme criteria and rules applied with a requirement to:

• have or be registered for and working towards attaining an industry relevant NVQ
• successfully attain the relevant Demolition Health, Safety & Environment Touch Screen Test
• attend a National Demolition Training Group (NDTG) approved asbestos awareness course and card specific approved CCDO course with end test

The card scheme has also gone SMART, which means that a Demolition Operative’s complete training records can be accessed on site using an easy to use card reader and software via a smartphone, tablet or PC, making it simpler and quicker for operative to access site, whilst at the same time, as a manager or supervisor ensuring that an operative has the correct skills and competence to work on site.
